Building upon existing literature in the field, this book identifies the frameworks and paradigms in which we Indigenize, identify, and establish Indigenous practice, and contemplates the possibilities of American Indian and Indigenous rhetorics.

This book outlines how American Indian and Indigenous rhetorics is an interdisciplinary scholarly practice and sub-field that draws from material and cultural practice, history and historiography, religious studies, literary studies, decolonial theory and practice, and community-based research. It explores how American Indian and Indigenous peoples and communities communicate the shaping of their worlds, identities, and goals through language, culture, and connection to land. The book includes case studies exploring current issues such as land and water rights, environmental precarity, and healthcare and provides readers with an Indigenous rhetorics model to approach these topics. In doing so, the book equips readers with the questions, practices, and methodologies to challenge historic notions and engage with Indigenous issues, ideas, and practices in public issues and debates.

This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Rhetoric, Indigenous Studies, American Indian Studies, Native Studies, Composition Studies, and Communication Studies.
